She's pretty, but she looks like she would be a sassy biatch. Like if you were to ask her, "Do you like my new sofa?". She would respond, "Well, do YOU like it?" "Of course I like it. That's why I bought it.". "Well, if YOU like it, that's all that REALLY matters now, isn't it?"

I remember the movie only vaguely. I remember being excited about a movie coming out based on a short story by one of my favorite author (Damon Runyon) and being SOOOOOO disappointed. That was long ago before I figured out that movies based on literature are almost always farked up in some fashion and almost always disappoint the fan of the author. It wasn't until the whole Lord of the RIng movie cycle started that I had some faith restored.

If you haven't ever read anything by Damon Runyon, do yourself a favor and check him out.

I'm guessing they get paid by the word at JoBlo. They do tend take a ling time to write about so little. And if you've ever seen any of their "10 Best" lists, it's obvious none of them ever bothered watching a movie made before they were born.

Having said that, I do agree with the author. All I really remember from that movie, apart from a good score by the late Georges Delerue which was the only positive thing about the movie, was that Jim Belushi's character got punched the face, or punched others in the face, about twenty times. But this was after John Hughes' monster success with Home Alone, when he decided he didn't need to make thoughtful but funny movies about memorable characters, but instead fill them with a lot of excruciating slapstick.

I also recall that the movie billed her as "introducing Alison Porter", which wad odd seeing as how she was already in Parenthood and I Love You To Death.

dragon927:indarwinsshadow: Like an average college age girl Ok then. Thanks for the info.

Which is pretty good, since she's in her 30s.

Have you noticed in general that people appear to be aging slower? I don't know if it's better diet, less exposure to the sun, or praying to the Sun God Ra but people don't appear to age as fast as they used to.

HotIgneous Intruder:Not hot.Almost assuredly a monster egomaniac and a narcissist.Would not date OR fark.No.

You sound like you're awesome at parties. Like so awesome people have to be told if you're gonna be there or not, cuz if you are, don't bother coming, because there's no way anyone could be as awesome as you.

Do you get it? I'm saying the opposite of what people who know you think. But you knew that because you're sooooo awesome.

Oh yeah....Alison turned out to be a hottie....Fap and all that.

She turned out pretty normal, really. I was hoping for a grand finish to TFA where she's had a sex change and is now a second string shortstop for The Kansas City Royals double A squad in Omaha, or something along those lines.

Or that maybe she encountered some sort of renal failure (accounting for her dropping off the map) that froze her growth and she ended up looking exactly the same, save for some crows feet and a not unimpressive rack.

Instead we get a story about someone who looked like such when she was 8, and looked like a grownup version of the same when she was 30.
